Kotelow village church
The Protestant village church Kotelow is a late Romanesque-early Gothic stone church in the district of Kotelow of Galenbeck in the Mecklenburg Lake District in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It belongs to the Schwichtenberg-Gehren parish in the Neustrelitz provost in the Stargard church region of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany (Northern Church) .
History and architecture
The stately stone church stands on the hillside of the village and was built in the last quarter of the 13th century. It consists of a rectangular, originally flat-roofed nave, which is closed with brushed ribbed vaults in two bays , and a retracted choir with a dome-like ribbed vault and a north-facing sacristy with barrel vaults. The roofs date from the 18th century.
The choir windows are arranged in groups of three, on the east side under an ogival panel with a gable with panel decoration and a recessed cross. A vaulted crypt was added to the north side around 1760. The west tower was placed in front of the nave in the same width in 1780 and crowned with an octagonal half-timbered tower with a hood and lantern. In 2010, the first Baroque version of this component was restored after a backup. In 2007/2008, after the risk of collapse of the belt arch in the ship, vault and roof renovation was carried out. The interior was then restored between 2013 and 2014.
Furnishing
An altarpiece from 1714 shows the Lord's Supper in the painting of the predella and the Resurrection in the altar extract ; In the main field there is a late Gothic carved altar from the end of the 15th century. This altar shows in the shrine a crucifixion rich in figures with flanking saints and two reliefs of the childhood of Jesus in the wings; only remains of the passion paintings on the outside of the wings have survived. It was renovated in 1855 and 1903.
The altar barriers date from 1678 and the wooden pulpit from the beginning of the 18th century. The manorial stalls with a painted pedigree on the back wall, the stalls and the west gallery were also created in the 18th century. A shrine with skulls has been preserved from the 19th century . On the south portal, the inner door with fittings and lock probably dates from the 14th century and was framed in 1553. A silver gilded chalice was created in 1732, a bronze candlestick in 1697 and a pair of candlesticks in 1769. The brass chandelier dates from 1697; the bell was cast in 1763 by Heinrich Scheel in Stettin.

The organ with a prospectus in early classical forms is a work by David Bayer from 1803 with eleven stops on a manual and pedal . The disposition was changed in 1860 by Ernst Sauer .
